had light weight peg brackets too.
Having seen that pic today I started pulling some parts to get it road worthy.
This one will take a little more than the SF did.

Raask rear sets
I was disappointed with the quality of the casting but they work well couples with the Jota 'bars
since this was taken I've lengthened the side stand so no more block of wood

It is cool to see someone keeping up the cafe tradition! Here is mine:
It does not have a full cafe seat, since my wife rides from time to time. This style bike is the coolest. I just got back from a pilgrimage to the Ace Cafe in London a couple weeks ago. Things are alive and well there!

Thanks, Aussi. I have always liked the Brit cafe look, but it is hard to make the XS look like a Norton. Then I saw what you guys down there are doing, and the Austrailian bikes were more the inspiration for mine. I have admired yours for awhile!Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

Revisited this thread after completing another cafe conversion which is still in progress. Sold the first bike last year. Bought another 79 XS in October and I have been working on it over the last few months:

Cool
Not too radical but still "the look".
Dunno if I could ride no cushion though
not at my age anyway.
I like the red number, really stands out.
